Chapter 471: How Do You Know Our Tribe's Beast Taming Tune?

Where the forest once stood, tall tulou buildings had now been erected, set to be completed in a few more days.

Ying and Rongdi stood here gazing at the tulou; many tribespeople were working there, a scene of thriving prosperity, and the town had expanded its territory considerably.

There were also more people.

Ying saw that Rongdi hadn't slept well, and he guessed what had happened last night. "So, did you sleep?"

Their chats were always this direct—"Did you sleep?" Rongdi frowned, a bit embarrassed. Did he sleep? Like hell he did!

"Don't even mention it. That woman was too fierce. I spent the whole night outside in the wind."

"Rongdi, that doesn't sound like you."

Ying recalled how, when he first met Nan Qinghuan, he had taken her. Because of that, Qinghuan had always wanted to run away. Back then, he didn't understand what love was; he just thought if he liked someone, he should sleep with them, and more sleeping would fix everything. But now his thinking had changed—he had to learn to respect a woman's wishes.

If he had understood back then, he and Qinghuan wouldn't have stumbled through so many conflicts, nor missed so much time together. Though their relationship was stable now, back then he had been constantly worried that Nan Qinghuan would run away.

Rongdi heard Ying's teasing but wasn't angry. He just sighed deeply. "Women need to be won over. Taking them by force is meaningless. I want her to be with me willingly."

Rongdi had already decided: he would spend his life with Jiguang. Even if she didn't like him now, it didn't matter—given enough time, she would come to like him.

Hearing Rongdi's words, Ying felt he really had become a different person.

"Rongdi, we're all waiting for your good news. If you can keep Jiguang here, I think we won't have to fight the Giant Tribe anymore. We'll all be one family, so there's no need for war."

"One family?"

Rongdi understood what Ying meant. Actually, they weren't at war right now. Spring had arrived, the time for planting. War would weaken their strength and bring other dangers.

With so many people in the town now, if fighting broke out, things would get far more complicated.

"I believe in you. Come on, let's go see how the military camp training is going."

"Haha, you'll be satisfied. Let's go."

Just as he finished speaking and they were about to leave, Ashu hurried over from nearby. "Ying!"

"What's the matter?"

Over here, Yao had brought Nan Qinghuan to a cave, a place specially used to detain people.

That blustering Beast Tamer was imprisoned here.

When she saw Nan Qinghuan, the Beast Tamer kept shouting at her, "Let me out! Let me out!"

"Shut up! What are you yelling about?"

Just as the whip was about to strike the woman, Nan Qinghuan quickly stopped it. "Alright, all of you go out. Let me have a word with her."

"Oumu, why are you here?"

The people guarding this woman were from the tribe. They still called her Oumu. In their hearts, this town was just a big tribe, but now there were too many people, and they were no longer just clansmen.

They were collectively called the Common People.

The Common People in the town each had their own houses and their own jobs, earning the money they wanted. Here, they lived more conveniently and comfortably.

"I've come to see this person. All of you go out."

After she said this, those people quickly left. The Beast Tamer had originally been very bold, so when Luosang went to ask for their help, she had volunteered to give Ying a show of force. Unexpectedly, she ended up being the first one caught.

Seeing Nan Qinghuan arrive, she wanted to know what was so special about this woman. How could she tame beasts? She wasn't a Beast Tamer, so how could she train their animals? She had to get to the bottom of this, or else this woman would definitely become their tribe's greatest enemy in the future.

"I heard you wanted to see me?"

Nan Qinghuan handled herself with ease among several women. As for this woman's claim that they would attack next month, she was still half-doubtful, but to be safe, she still came.

She wanted to probe the truth.

"You're Nan Qinghuan, aren't you?"

Nan Qinghuan exchanged a glance with Yao and smiled. "Not bad—you've only been here less than a day and you already know my name. That's right, I'm Nan Qinghuan. What's your name?"

Her gaze also swept up and down the woman, wanting to know her name. This woman was as tall as she was, with skin as dark as most primitive women's. Having tamed beasts year-round, her hands were like a man's—rough, with thick, prominent knuckles.

Very ugly.

"I won't tell you my name. Nan Qinghuan, you'd better go tell Ying to release me, or else next month this place will be a hell of death."

"Hell?"

This startled Nan Qinghuan. Did primitive people already know what hell was? "Who told you that word?"

The woman just grinned. "Scared, are you? Let me go, and I won't tell the chief that you bullied me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."

"Such big talk. Killing you is as easy as killing an ant, you know that?"

Yao couldn't stand it anymore. Even in this state, she was still threatening them. This Yueguang was truly an idiot!

The woman didn't want to be locked up here by Ying, nor did she want to become a plaything for these men to bear children. So she had to escape. The prerequisite for escape was to make these people believe her tribe would come to attack, so they'd be afraid and let her go.

"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do. But Nan Qinghuan, there's one thing I don't understand."

"What don't you understand?"

"How do you know Beast Taming? You're not from our tribe, so how do you know the Beast Taming Tune?"

This she found very strange. Being able to use the Beast Taming Tune was a skill only the chief possessed. Their Beast Tamers all used hand gestures, but this woman was no ordinary person.

She had actually used a Bamboo Flute to subdue the wild beasts she had worked so hard to train. This she truly couldn't understand.

Hearing this, Nan Qinghuan knew these people were suspicious of her. "It's simple—I have an indescribable relationship with your Beast Taming chief. As for what that relationship is, I won't tell you. Yueguang, is it? It's not impossible for you to leave here, but I need you to do one thing for me."

This startled Yao. "Goddess, what are you trying to do?"

Was she going to let this woman go? No way! If she went back and told the Beast Taming Tribe everything that happened here, the Beast Taming chief would definitely come to settle the score with them!

No!

Absolutely cannot let her go!
